Does the head/watering rose thing disassemble in case it clogs? I use a rain barrel and submersible pump and definitely need to be able to do that.

The black part on the top does come off, but it does not disassemble further than that. Depending on what is clogging it, you may be able to just rinse it out or you may have to pull pieces out with a pliers, but you should be able to clean it without too much hassle.

Yes, the rose unscrews from the end of the wand. It uses a regular hose fitting, so you can replace any of the parts, for example, if you wanted to use a finer rose.

I have it under a pot of flowers but I'm sure it does not. I have some water tubing come from under the pot so it keeps it from squeezing it and the pot is always watered. Good product.

I would first start by double checking the condition of the Pumping unit before attempting any use. 1. Disassemble the Pump assembly where the magnetic fins spin. You should be able to remove the magnetic/plastic fanblade assembly. There is either a metal/plastic stick with two rubber tips used to help dampen any vibrations. If the pump wasn't taken care of, or "ran dry" for too long, the magnetic fan assembly may have warped making disassembly more difficult. 2. if all goes well, and you can in fact pull the pump's magnetic fan assembly out, or can freely spin it within the pump housing assembly, then you can try priming the unit by filling the canister. (do this outside or where overflow water will be caught) 3. I have just over filled my unit, and while waiting for the pump to start sucking in water, I've closed the "Out" hose valve. applied generous pumping of the prime button, then reopened the Out hose valve. This creates suction thus if no water is coming into the "In" hose valve you may have a obstruction. Make sure the canister is full of water before starting it up, made a huge difference in how long I waited for the water to begin flowing. The top half of the pump assembly itself needs to have some water in it, because to me, it seems like it doesn't do jack squat unless there is water in it. I'm not a major fan of the Cascade series pumps, but when it comes to customer service the manufacture I contacted directly helped me out in a pinch. There is a science to the Priming aspect of getting the unit going. I've noticed leaving the "Out" valve at the half off position, while priming, this helps pressure build up as the "In" hose begins to fill with water. The sudden opening of the "Out" valve causes the built up pressure to pull enough of that collected water in the "In" hose to make it to the pump assembly, and voila. it freaking starts working. ..after 30 minutes of trying"

The head does unscrew from the head. Depending on which brand pump you have the outside diameter of the hose may be larger, but the inside will be the same. If that is the case you will need to use the new hose as well as the head. I had to use the new head and the new hose; the pump end fitting did fit my pump. I have been using it for over a year now.

We have two that worked fine for about 3 months. We are on well water so mineral build up has slowed the rocker arm to where they don't rotate. They both leak around the valve body unless you get them balanced just right. After years of fighting various sprinkler heads (for general watering) of all descriptions and costs, I have resigned myself to only getting one season out of any of them. Sorry, wish I had better news.

no need to buy a hose as they are attached to the head. I put a small fork on the end that goes into the bucket as an anchor to hold it down. when it comes it is coiled and tends to stay that way, but with an anchor it stays on the bottom of the bucket. This is a wonderful self watering device and I use mine all the time. When I travel it becomes my life line for my houseplants.

No...however there is a porous false bottom in the pot that acts as a water reservoir. I had transplanted a peace lily into the pot six months ago and the plant has doubled in size, regularly throwing out flowers.

Nope, it's just a pump, sucks water up and sprays it through its nozzles. I have had a 100% success rate over several batches. Easiest thing ever. Cut the very bottom of the basket off so the new roots don't get caught and so you can reuse the baskets.

It does. In fact, I have some houseplants in smaller pots so I unscrew it to water them. It's easy.

Yes, there is a threaded connection between the sprinkling head and the spout, so it can be removed.

Hard to say. These pumps do come apart in 3 or 4 pieces for internal cleaning. I had to use an old part on the new pump I got one time. When and if you take it apart, don'tforce getting the cover off, as it will come apart. If you force it, the piece with the flow control lever could break. I also had to trim some plastic on the new pump body because the old one had a slight ovalness to it. Good luck.

It is supposed to be removable, but our's actually is not! It appears that it was dunked into the liquid zinc (to galvanize it against rust) with the rosette attatched, so the rosette is bonded to the spout. Although we have been tempted to try to force it to unscrew, we don't want to damage it. It is made in Mexico, which may explain this idiocy. We have had many watering cans over the years and never, ever experienced anything like this. we have not tried to contact the manufacturer, in Minnesota, but perhaps your question will motivate us to do so now.

The stem does not come off. I just hold it under a faucet to clean after each use being careful not to get the battery area wet. Hope this is helpful.

Interesting idea of using a head that has an on/off switch. I am not sure if the threads are compatible between the two, but the head is removable. However, you might damage the pump if you placed it in the OFF position since it will be building up water pressure with no where for the water to go...

The hose does weep residual water after shutting off the water supply valve, however it does not completely drain and requires water pressure to star dripping. I would not expect a free flow of water from a gravity system, UNLESS the rain barrel was raised significantly above ground to provide appropriate "head pressure".

The whole wand screws onto a garden hose. You either screw it on or off for use. I wouldn't use it to water flowers because of the pressure.

If the rain barrel fills before you use the water and is going to overflow then lay the hose down on the ground in the direction you could use the water or put the hose in buckets to carry to water other areas/plants. Probably you would be using the water as it fills and it doesn't get a chance to overflow. I keep water in the top for birds to drink & bathe.
